Yep, thats true. Course I originally saved 30M...:) Thats probably not
practical for everybody. Wrt to keeping a large file around, I think I
remember trying only extending the logical volume by 2M to begin with,
and that wasn't enough. This was a pretty big partition (800M). So if
you take this approach, should your reserve space be proportional to the
size of the partition??
